Infrastructure for farm and aqua tourism to be readied in the village under the ₹5-crore project
A ₹5-crore project by the Ernakulam District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) to woo guests to Kadamakudy, a cluster of 14 pristine isles located off Kochi, by readying infrastructure for diverse tourism avenues like farm and aqua tourism, received the much-awaited no-objection certificate (NOC) from the panchayat on Thursday. The innovative project abutting the backwaters is aimed at taking tourists back to the 1950’s, when traditional farming practices held sway in Kerala, said Mahesh Gopalakrishnan, architect and Sunil N.S., project coordinator, who made the project presentation. Kadamakudy grama panchayat president Mary Vincent said the NOC had been issued on condition that the project would not affect local ecology and would adhere to CRZ norms. “It will also earn revenue for the panchayat,” she said.
